TAIPEI (TVBS News) — On the eve of the Asian Baseball Championship at the Taipei Dome, Taiwanese-Japanese baseball legend Sadaharu Oh expressed his wish on Saturday (Dec. 2) for the Taiwan team to triumph over South Korea in Sunday's game.
Oh shared his aspirations for the future of Asian baseball, stating, "I hope Taiwan can definitely win against South Korea tomorrow. I also hope that three years from now, during the World Baseball Classic (WBC), the team from Japan and Taiwan will join hands to enter the finals in the U.S."
"It is my hope to see Taiwan participate in the final showdown," Oh said in an opening remark at the opening ceremony earlier that day.

He also predicted that with the presence of the Taipei Dome, the future of Taiwanese baseball is set to improve.
